About the Author

Catharine Retter is a Sydney author (Lower North Shore). This is her eighth non-fiction book and her second 'zoo book' - she is also the author of the popular selling, Life is a Zoo, published in 2006. Although she has had a long association with Taronga, never tires of the new and fascinating insights the animals provide, and continues to be surprised and heartened by the extensive field conservation initiatives Taronga is involved in well beyond the boundaries defined by its Sydney harbourside location.
